I get it. This is aimed at left-wing people who think their side can do no evil and thus proceed to censor any disagreement. But it's still funny to me that this whole thing needs to be preceded with 'the right is bad, but believe it or not, people on the left might do some bad things too', as if any side has a monopoly on virtue and goodness.

Would you at least entertain the possibility that one of the sides could, at the moment, be a bit worse than the other?

Entertain? Sure. But you're also talking about "mainstream media". If we had an unbiased media outlet making this accusation, I think it might make sense. But any person center or right-of-center makes no bones about the fact that all of the major media outlets are left and getting "more lefter" all the time.

I'm not aware of anyone on the right advocating that words are acts of violence. It might be possible, but I _know_ it comes from the left.

That said, that conservatives don't speak up more about this type of stuff is concerning. They are, after all, supposed to be about the business of "conserving" things.

That said, that they even published this letter is at least a breath of fresh air. Regardless of the view, I'm glad that there is a call to examine this.
